Wolfgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the sun and moon resided in their place
high above in the stars we watched them fly
as time became the keeper of our days
listen close to the nature of their cry
the crimson of the sunset in their wake
looking close for the shadows up on high
rising up with the wolves to see them die
the sun and moon were subject to their chase
seeing now how they streak across the sky
their power may deliver us to waste
far away when the world will end its life
the sun and moon shall lose and turn to prey
high above in the stars we'll watch them fly
as time begins to enter its decay
sink your teeth into the moon tonight
you can never let the sun slip by
In Wolfgun's song "Glory", the lyrics describe the story of the creation of the world and the role of the sun and the moon in it. The song takes us back to a time when the world was brought to life and the sun and the moon resided in their place high above in the stars. The lyrics urge us to listen closely to the nature of their cry, referring to the colors of the sunset and the shadows cast by night. In this way, the song emphasizes the connection between nature and the celestial bodies that dictate the rhythm of human life.
The lyrics go on to describe how, at times, the sun and the moon were subject to the chase of the wolves, who rose up with them to see them die. The power of the celestial bodies might lead us to waste, suggesting that the forces of nature are both powerful and dangerous, and that we should respect them accordingly. The song ends on a somber note, with the prophecy that when the world ends its life, the sun and the moon will lose their power and become prey. However, it leaves us with the urging to "sink your teeth into the moon tonight" and not let the sun slip by, which could be interpreted as a call to live life to the fullest and appreciate the beauty of the world.
